Even if this seems like heresy for a large part of you girls and boys :
I think that the next real works station from Korg should be a big Cube without keyboard and with a big screen.
Everyone could add a master keyboard for controling theis big new beast !
A little as Steve Jobs many years ago made with Next but immensely powerful and above all easily transportable
Hope! Hope Hope !
Yes for me it will be grat. _________________ trees are going fast.

Only 2 parts, 10 presets, limited effects, 61 keys only etc..
One feature I use all the time is is muting and unmuting of up to 9 parts (layered or split), persevering polyphony when not using parts, FAST changes due to the awesome set lists feature.
No other keyboard (that I know of) can do this quickly and easily. |
How about the new Roland Fantom EX? It can be added to the list with the Kurzweil and Arturia. |

I am praying they will come out with a VST version of the Kronos, either as a package or the individual sound engines. Poly61 and MS20 are already there but I rarely use those. AL-1 is pretty critical to me as is HD-1 with Wavesequencing and Karma.
All the other engines I could probably replace with other plugins these days, but it would be a lot of work, so if there was a VST Kronos which allowed me to get up and running with my PLG files, I would grab it in an instant!
In terms of failures on stage, I like to do a "what if" exercise and say of a bit of kit failed, what could I do? E.g. I gig with a Montage and Kronos as my main rig, and if one went down I could probably get by with just the other, so I have a set of emergency patches programmed on both (Hammond, EP, Piano, String pad, a few leads of different types.
And always have your backups with you! I learnt the hardware about ten years ago, that a backup of your board or computer (in this case the computer, is no use when it is an hour's round trip away! _________________ Derek Cook - Java Developer

I used to use a Kurzweil and I liked it. Unfortunately it was very unreliable and after a while I couldn't justify using it. As for Roland - I just don't get along with their overall sounds. I have an RD-88 and the sounds are better - but I guess I am so used to Yamaha and Korg sounds - which I like.
I always try the "cube"; in my case - Mac mini running MainStage. But I don't think it could handle one of my gigs that require fast patch changes like the Kronos. I haven't pushed it to its limits. I also have the first M1 version - which is capped at 16GB. _________________ Korg Kronos, RD-88, Yamaha VL1, Deep Mind 6, Korg Kross, author of unrealBook for iPad. |
